Anthony Rota has announced his resignation as Speaker of the House following his recognition of a former member of a Nazi unit in Parliament.

“This House is above any of us. Therefore, I must step down as your Speaker,” Mr. Rota said in the House of Commons before Question Period on Sept. 26.

“I reiterate my profound regret for my error in recognizing an individual in the house during the joint address to Parliament of President Zelenskyy.”
